Abstract(s)
Attitudes toward gender roles result from a social construction process that has implications for the accepted gender role
models for men and women. This study aims at the adaptation and factorial validation of a measurement scale for attitudes toward
gender roles. The sample consisted of 746 college students and young professionals. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses
were performed to check the scale’s structure. A two-factor structure was found for the Attitudes toward Gender Roles Scale: the
first factor reflects a traditional division of gender roles, and the second factor reflects an egalitarian division of gender roles. A
preliminary study using the scale was conducted on 101 families with adult children (each family included a father, a mother,
and an adult child with a university degree). The results revealed the importance of the scale in assessing the attitudes of different
generations toward gender roles.
